Did Gnaw say he is giving everyone 2 starting action cards?

Apparently yes

And who ended up as red? Muaat as any color than red possibly orange is a crime. I demand this travesty be corrected immediately

Seeing as how I wound up as Arborec Blue, hopefully Tatts got red. I can't imagine the L1z1x not getting either blue or red. I actually like Muaat orange better than Red. Red is always Sardakk or Nekro in my head.

[twelve]

Yeah I can see that. I'd gladly accept orange.

I ended up as green. I'd even take yellow as Muaat. Any sun color would work. Though I guess you could argue Blue would be best as blue colored suns burn hotest.

Green Muaat? Ewwww

I'm obsessed. Keep checking this thread.

Gnaw's move must not be going smoothly. Also as a fellow resident of the States, we have a National Holiday on the 4th (apologies to our friends from the British Isles) so he might have holiday plans as well.

BTW, was there any particular reason why we went 1-6, 1-6 instead of 1-6, 6-1 for HW/race selections?

In both cases, 6 has only one meaningful choice to make (made up for by getting the Speaker token, unless that was up for grabs as well as a choice), but spot 4 and 5 are in the bottom of the queue twice.

In the other game they did a snake draft and some people said that those in the latter half of the draft were at a disadvantage because you can pick a race counter to your neighbour. So last place chooses Yin, and the neighbour picks someone that can counter Yin easily.

Oof. I'll go with #2.

Dont forget to also choose your race please as you are last in line!

Huh?

Galactic Council, on 24 June 2019 - 06:15 PM, said:

All factions will be in game. When we get to the faction selection phase, we will choose them and starting locations like we did last game. I'll randomize the player list to create a table order. First player chooses either race, starting location or speaker token, then 2nd and so on until we reach the end, then last player will choose whichever they haven't chosen yet and we go back to the start. If only the Speaker token is left at the end, then it goes to a random player, otherwise whatever is left goes to whichever player chose the speaker token.

Isn't it back to Morgoth?

I think he intended it to be a snake draft which is the fairest method.

Whaaaat? How is that most fair? I get last pick of starting spots *and* I have to pick my race first so my neighbours can easily hard-counter me, while Morgoth gets first pick and sees his neighbour picks before picking his race?

Indeed. I got to pick HW spot before Tatts, but then he got to pick L1z1x to counter my Arborec

So Gnaw, with all the time you are spending with your new pooch are you going to share any pics with us? I went camping last weekend and someone in the campground had a litter of 8 week old pit bull puppies. Not a fan of the breed but they were adorable. I've been missing my dog fix ever since my dog died last year. Might be time for me to get a new one.

[twelve]

Blend, don't you want to see what objectives are before you pick your strategy card?

I second the demand request for pictures

Meh, gonna take Technology for the free research regardless. As Creuss, I have to build first round as I only start with 1 carrier, so I don't want to spend my only 4 resources on technology.

[Galactic Council]

I will definitely want to see the POs before we start the action phase, however.

Also would like confirmation that we're actually starting with Action Cards, as that is not in the rules.

He has it stated in the OP that is the case as a mod desicion.

I hope this game distracts and confuses the 4B players

It already does I'm not sure if being blue in both games is going to help or make it more confusing!
